How to make an Origami Icosahedron - Triangle Edge modules

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
  • For quite some time I did not know the name (and as a result wasn't able to track down the diagram) of this modular classic. I first saw it on Mark Rowes's channel and already know for some time now that this regular icosahedron was made out of Triangle Edge Modules by Lewis Simon and Bennett Arnstein. It is a model that clearly has a spot in my personal hall of fame!!

    oh my goodness, what a blast from the past. i just remembered this channel exists and i remember being so hyped about modular origami because of it xD i must have made ten of these since first watching this... makes me want to make another lol

    You're basically the only person on youtube that makes actually good origami tutorials :) My only complaint is that the music is too repetitive, maybe mix it up so you don't have to listen to the same bit over and over until your model is finished. And thank you for not speeding it up, everything is slow paced and easy to follow, and my model looks very nice!!

  • @byBrandyn
    @byBrandyn 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Ransom90 There is a method but it's kinda hard to explain. If you look on one pentagon of the icosahedron you will see that around the edge three of the same colors will touch each other (I know that's really confusing). At :20 do you see how the icosahedron has 3 yellow units in the same place? That's the key if you don't want the same colors to touch. Just try your best to make each triangle the three different colors and you will eventually get it. Hope that helps.

    Your shape would look better if all the seams were glued together and that you used a strong material such as cardboard, or even better, wood.

  • @jessiegallion
    @jessiegallion 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Patience, people. That's all you need for this. Also, if you're trying a model that needs 30 modules- construct three or five of them and see if you're capable of putting them together. If you can't figure it out, you haven't wasted your other paper.

    @Kuro99star 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @reymatt76 I went ahead and did the first part after coloring one side. I found in order to fold with the color on the outside you have to start folding with the color side up. that way when you finish it is shown off to the world. Hope this helps you as it did me. :)

  • @Duckoby
    @Duckoby 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @barbabellaatje I used a bit of glue for the model after sliding in the module, and it really helped when I went to add a bit of glue using the end of a pencil.
    I recommend doing what I did, maybe with a toothpick but only on the tucked in area.

    well.... this method is really nice n works well with icosahedron (30 pieces indicating 30 edges)
    I tried the same with tetrahedron which turned out very hard... but still I succeeded
    next Octahedron
    this one was harder than icosa but not as hard as tetra ....
    anyway thnku for the method
    really awesome

  • @Faithpop98
    @Faithpop98 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @reymatt76 honestly, its not that hard to figure out. u know u started with the wrong side up if the color isnt on the outside. assume u start with white side up, and if its wrong, just do it over. or if u really cant stand to do that, just buy some double colored paper.

  • @MrSalty953
    @MrSalty953 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    The square can be any size alsong as ALL squares you use in the model are the same size. The squares are then cut in half to produce a 2:1 ratio rectangle :)

    @Radjehuty 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @regnar89 lol. Actually origami doesn't require only squares. As long as the paper doesn't need to be cut in order to finish the model. You have to cut the paper to even make it a square in the first place right? Whether you did it or the manufacturer. I would hardly say Thomas Hull's FIT model isn't origami! ;D

    Hey i found that you can make this with 6, 9, 12 or 16 mods to!! If you make with 6 mods it would be an triangle, just make an 3 unit ring in the start, continue making 3 unit rings. for 12 mods, just make an 4 unit ring!
    You can aslo make 3 AND 4 (or 5 and 4) unit at the same thing! :D

    @reymatt76 i'm not trying to be smart. i just don't get your point. each paper unit has the same pattern of folds so you can't go wrong. and it says 10 x 3 different colors as simple as that and follow the pattern as the video suggest. that's it. no hard feelings dude.

  • @Faithpop98
    @Faithpop98 13 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can see that each triangular surface has three colors--RED, YELLOW, GREEN--in clockwise order. Just make sure that is the case for every triangular surface.
